Davie Deans Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Was at Utd’s academy up until 3/4? years ago. Had some role at the Sfa. Otherwise, don’t know much about him recently.

Jodami Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Fantastic experience at Manchester Utd, left the SFA because he fundamentally disagreed with many people there which is no surprise. An intelligent guy when he was a player and from what I have heard a very decent individual (friend of mine had him come in to speak to his kids teams and he was first class). He looks like a good appointment, excellent contacts and someone who has been involved in designing an infrastructure blueprint. Potentially very good. He does have a drinker's dish though!

Perth to Paisley Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Had the Project Brave role at SFA before that Mackay. Think he gave it up as it proved to be a PR/salesman type role rather than coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo1874 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 If he's a genuine option we should consider him. Simple that. Don't know too much about him post his career but whenever I've heard him he comes across as intelligent and considered. Not bad characteristics for the job I'd guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolls rhyme with foals. Foals are young horses. Horses win horse races. Races rhyme with aces. Aces are often the highest card. Card rhymes with Shard, which is the tallest building in the UK. Ergo, Hearts to win the World Cup. 🤣🤣🤣 this reminds me of the South Park parody of Independence Day 🤣🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he was part of the Motherwell team that beat Hearts on the final day of the season back in 82 also. However we did employ a certain Maurice Johnstone who was part of that set up on that fateful day.

LarrysRightFoot Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Would be a fantastic appointment in terms of profile and connections. Had a important role at Man Utd and left the SFA due to frustration over clubs not being willing to work together. Personally, I think he’d be a great appointment. Just got a feeling it won’t be him though. Would be happy to be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) A good amount of time as head of the academy at the biggest club in the world makes him a good candidate I also wouldn't rule out a former colleague either, as MacPhee said he should have a working relationship with the manager.

Jambo On Fire Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I heard a rumour a few days ago that Brian McClair for Sporting Director and Mark Hughes for Manager was a possibility. I took it with a pinch of salt but interesting that Brian McClair is now being floated by different sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
